A custom enamel pin or badge in Singapore typically costs between S$1.50 and S$5 per piece depending on size, enamel type, and order quantity, with hard enamel pins sitting at the premium end and printed/soft enamel badges more budget-friendly. Gift Hub supplies custom enamel pins and badges in bulk for Singapore companies, covering everything from staff recognition pins to event collector badges, with logo printing, no GST, and free local shipping. If your HR or events team needs a small, low-cost item that still feels considered and collectible, badges are usually the answer.

How Much Do Custom Enamel Pins and Badges Cost in Singapore?

Pricing is driven mainly by size (typically 2.5cm–4cm), enamel type, number of colours, and plating (gold, silver, nickel, or black nickel). Soft enamel pins — where the enamel sits slightly below the metal lines — usually cost S$1.50–S$3 per piece at volume. Hard enamel pins, which are polished flush with the metal for a smoother, more premium feel, typically run S$2.50–S$5 per piece. Printed or epoxy-coated badges, which allow for more colour detail and gradients than enamel allows, fall somewhere in between depending on complexity. As with most corporate gifts, larger order volumes bring the per-unit price down significantly.

What Is the MOQ for Custom Badges?

Most Singapore suppliers, including Gift Hub, set MOQ at 100 pieces per design for custom enamel pins, since each design requires its own metal die or mould. Some suppliers offer lower MOQs (50 pieces) at a higher per-unit cost for smaller pilot runs, such as a one-off internal recognition award. If you're planning a multi-year recurring badge series (e.g. annual staff long-service pins), it's worth discussing reusing the base die across years to reduce future tooling costs.

Hard Enamel vs Soft Enamel vs Printed Badges: What's the Difference?

Hard enamel pins are filled, then ground and polished flat, giving a smooth, glass-like, scratch-resistant finish — best for premium gifts or pins that will be worn and handled often. Soft enamel pins have a slightly recessed, textured enamel surface and are more budget-friendly, suiting high-volume giveaways. Printed or digitally-printed badges skip enamel entirely, using a printed and resin-coated design instead, which allows for photo-realistic detail or gradient colours that enamel can't replicate, but typically feels less premium to the touch than enamel. Choosing between them comes down to budget, design complexity, and how the badge will be used.

Common Use Cases for Custom Badges in Singapore Companies

Singapore companies commonly order custom badges for staff long-service recognition, conference and event attendee badges, brand ambassador or volunteer identification, limited-edition collector pins for product launches, and CSR campaign fundraising pins. Because badges are small and lightweight, they're also a popular add-on item bundled with a larger corporate gift set (for example, alongside a tote bag or notebook) rather than as the sole gift.

Production Timeline for Custom Pins and Badges

Standard production lead time for custom enamel pins in Singapore is 3–4 weeks from final artwork approval, covering die-making, enamel filling, plating, and polishing. Printed badges without a metal die can sometimes be produced faster, in 2–3 weeks. Submitting print-ready artwork early and confirming plating colour in the first round avoids the most common cause of delay: late-stage colour or die revisions.
